3ds section

hi guys,im new at the forum.i have a question.my problem is that i want to make a section to a 3ds object,but i cant.i tried to convert it to solid,but m2s is for opes meshes and my 3ds is totally closed.

any solution??????

3ds object? What exactly do you mean? Is this something you imported from 3D Studio Max with the 3DSIN command? You know Max can Export to dwg, right? Why don't you post a screenshot of the object, or better yet, post the file so we can take a look.

sure i can.autocad recognise my object to pface(mesh),and i want to use the sectionplane command.i left only that part because the limitation of the site!!

thnks!!

You should be able to explode it into faces and use the F2S.lsp (Face to Solid) on it.

i tried it but my wall 100% vertical.any other idea?if u want to make section is necessery to be solid?

a solution with 3d max is that you could use the section object in the create panel under shapes...there will be a Section button...once you orient it and place it where you want go the modifier panel and click on the create shape button...then you can select the newly created spline and export it...and you may have to clean it up a bit once it's in autocad...

that command isnt actually a section.u use it to create new shapes.the only thing u have is sectioned line i also want the line in depth.thnks

Slidworks can help to convert it to .sat format?

As suggested by SLW210, I exploded the Polyface Mesh and converted the object to a 3D Solid with the F2S routine. Take a look and see if it will work for you.

nice cad64,but when u put f2s command what thinkness do u put?thnks guys!!!

ok guys i find it,i did the same mistake all the time to change my default value to 0,0001.thnks alot for ur help

i know that i spam the forum but works right only to 2 axis...how i must change it,i must change ucs?

Don't worry about it, keep posting until you get a solution to your problem. But please, try to give us more information and explain exactly what the problem is? What only works right in 2 axis?

ok,ill try explain better.i explode my polyface mesh and i have 3d faces.i select all the faces together then i use the command f2s!

the problem is that:

on one of three axis the face becomes horizontal(i tried many values of thickness).

here is the sample(thickness value 1):

Check the attached drawing for a description of how I created the object I posted previously. I put the directions in Layout1.

thnks man i got it.now i must see if i can do all that process to entire roof,because all made in 3dsm.Generally i cant understand y autodesk doesnt have compatible between these programs.if someone want to pay this is a good plugin(3dsm) http://www.npowersoftware.com/ for mesh to solid.thnks again

Question: Where can I download the f2s command? I've been searching google but I haven't been able to find it.

You can't find it?

HERE, click on the 3rd search result that says F2S.lsp (Faces-to-Solids) . . .

Haha, actually I did see this in my google search. I just wasn't sure which of these results had the actual download. I kept finding this freedom2surf website for some reason...

Anywho, thanks a million.
